Nestled in the heart of Dudley, Ashbourne is where compassionate care meets community. Our care home offers a uniquely welcoming environment, where meaningful activities, shared moments, and personalised care empower every resident to live with dignity and purpose.
My brother-in-law spent the last part of his life here and he received the absolutely best care anyone could have had. The staff are just the best caring, loving, and dedicated people doing a hard job with a smile and a kind word.
We have found the home to be excellent. My sister has been very happy there. All the staff have become her friends and they look after her with great care. There is always something going on with activities, etc. The management is top-class.
“My auntie looks better within a week of going to Ashbourne. Excellent service and very helpful with everything. Nothing is too much trouble for my auntie and myself. Great support at a very stressful time. Highly recommended.”
“Since our mother moved in over a month ago, we have found the home fits her needs very well. The staff are professional and friendly, but also very approachable and have more than put our decision on our mother's future.”
FAMILY. HONESTY. RESPECT.
Community Ties. Meaningful Connections.
